Mark King on a 5 string?

Status with a headstock? Or Jaydee?

 

I think it's a Status S2 headed 5 string.

 

Status Bass. Can't remember the model, but still sold on the Status site, I believe, along with Mark King "artist" models.

The song is "Overtime" off the album, Guaranteed.

Nice basses!

 

It's a Status Matrix. Mark used the 5 string for a couple of songs on the Guaranteed tour, but other than that, you'll be hard pressed to find any evidence of him ever having used a 5 string live. He apparently prefers the easy playability of 4 strings.

 

Can't blame him for that

 

It was a Status Matrix Empathy 5

He used a MM S'Ray 5 in the studio for a lot of stuff that would go below low D (which he tuned his E string to).

He's quoted someplace that he thought MM basses were some of the best recorded.

Everything from Status to Moon to MM to Alembic to Fender with a Wal & Zon thrown in for fun!!!!

 

And i thought Alembics were his sound

He obviously sounds very similar with all those basses.
